Circle View Elementary School

Like one of the reviews stated, there are some very poor teachers at this school, very limited in scope on personality of a child, on which I am extremely disappointed - thus my child is dubbed a so-called "degenerate" when she is a perfectly NORMAL child. I have raised 5 children and this is uncalled for. Be very careful what teacher you have at this school!!

When you have an average principal, you'll have an average achool. It takes a visionary leader to make a school great!

Your experience at this school will rely on what teachers your child gets. My children have had some great teachers and some very poor teachers. The current principal is unable to provide leadership which has resulted in a lot of chaos and poor morale. The budget crisis is destroying anything good about public schools; the student to teacher ratio is increasing, the school is run down, the bathrooms are disgusting and teacher morale is in the toilet. I've been disappointed by the lack of creative teaching in the classroom. A lot of worksheets. Way too much teaching to the test. This school takes great pride in its test scores, however, there is more to a school than how well the students test.

This school is a great school. They work hard on academics and move very quickly....I do feel it is a money school and the PTO asks for a lot of money compared to the other two schools my four children have gone to. I find the teacher's caring and forthcoming and I am very fond of the new principle and am very happy with the new gym teachers getting the children more physically fit!

I went to Circle View growing up and circle view had great teachers that really liked to help the students when they needed it. Even if the teacher wasn't yours they were still willing to spend time to help you out. Not to mention the kids club is amazing there and the same pleople that were there when I was a kid, still take care of the kids now. I love to go back and help out when ever I can.

My child is reading at a 2nd grade reading level in kindergarden thanks to his teacher Cindy Vanasse and her staff! This is truly a miracle considering how he wasn't talking at age 4. KV

My daughter was having trouble reading and her teacher Mrs. Pouelsen even offered to stay after school to help her improve. She was at a level 3 and now is at a level 16. This shows what dedication the teachers have towards the children they teach. How many other teachers have offered your child that? Probably not many. LB

The 5th grade GATE class led by Kate Andruss is better than gold. I am absolutely astounded by the performance of my grand-daughter. I'm paraphrasing here, but in her words, 'no big deal, we're all this good'. Al di Grandpa

I have three children at Circle View. I am very happy with the teachers, and their organization. It is true the bathrooms can be a mess, I have seen them cleaned daily, but 400 plus elementary students have to start cleaning up after themselves! I've advised my children to do their part. I've wiped down children's desks myself with anti-bacterial wipes myself at the end of the day, and the parents do a whole lot at this school, we all should be very Proud! And the Gate Program ROCKS!

My daughter attends Circle View in Miss Britt's Kindergarten. This is a wonderful school with wonderful, caring teachers. The PTO is incredible. I am so proud that my daughter is a student there.
